MISTAKE!

Wow. They had to blur out the non-nudity.

Ghost in the Shell is hit or miss, but when it hits it's amazingly good. I've never actually seen a more insightful vision of the future.

I don't watch anime because I enjoy the feeling of a warm wet vagina, but I think if somebody did full episodes of anime dubbed to be funny, I might watch that...

ps: Does anybody know if Shin Chan is mocking anime, a word-for-word dubbed comedy, or a cartoon dubbed to be funny?

Yes, sometimes it's mocking anime... in a friendly way. It's definitely not "word-for-word." Word-for-word Japanese to English translation is pretty hard to do in the first place, and a lot of the jokes wouldn't make sense with the culture difference. But as long as it makes sense to the west, as much of the plot and as many of the jokes as they can stay basically the same and the rest is pretty much improvised.

I mean... that's what my friend tells me...

Shin Chan in Japanese relies on a lot of 'play on word' and cultural humor. The type of things you can't translate. The story lines in English are heavily adapted but I believe it's still more or less in the same spirit of the original.
